Why do scientists measure the movements and changes in glaciers?
Scientists measure the movements and changes in glaciers to better understand how they respond to environmental factors like temperature and precipitation, to monitor their contribution to sea level rise, and to assess potential hazards such as glacier-related floods and landslides. These measurements help scientists track the impact of climate change on glaciers and glaciers' impact on the environment.
